FOUNDER’S CIRCLE MEMBERS-ONLY*
Join us for a special edition of Views from the C-Suite exclusively for WOC Founder's Circle members. Featuring Yolanda F. Johnson and Angela Frierson Shirey, National Executive Lead at the American Heart Association, this episode, The Heart of Leadership, will take place during Black History month. The latter coincides with American Heart Month.
The conversation will focus not only on physical heart health for women of color, but also on the most important factors at the “heart,” or center, of effective leadership for women of color.
Angela comes to us with a wealth of knowledge about how to transfer corporate executive skills to the non-profit sector, as well as of the foundations and grantmaking process from her time with the Walton Foundation. Don't miss this important conversation.
